Restomod is about taking a good thing and making it better. A case in point for restomod 65-66 Mustangs are the new Flo-Fit bucket seats from M Detail/The Mustang Market. Covered with custom TMI Interior Décor Groupperhaps better known as Ponyupholstery, the seat is the epitome of restomod because it retains the sharp lines of classic while improving function, safety, and comfort.
After we received a huge reader response to a photo of the seats in our March Parts Counter, we contacted Bruce Reckard at M Detail/The Mustang Market for the lowdown on these comfortable, good-looking Flo-Fit buckets. Covered in striking TMI Products quality upholstery, these restomodded Flo-Fit seats add a touch of class to a vintage Mustang interior for less than $1,500. The fully adjustable seats are offered in both all-original and custom colors; plus they recline, a feature never offered in a vintage Mustang. They can be installed in less than an hour to completely transform a Mustangs personality in short order. Were impressed with the outcome.
